About this episode:

Ever wondered how to help your child face the world when it feels like everyone's watching? In this episode, Connor and his mum Carolyn tackle the tough stuff - dealing with haters, building resilience, and supporting your child through the challenges that come with being different.

They share the real conversations: the fears parents carry, the school situations that test everyone, and how family support can make all the difference. Whether you're worried about your child facing bullying or you're navigating public attention yourself, their insights offer practical wisdom for building confidence and weathering the storms together.

Quick wisdom

If you're facing criticism: Not everyone's opinion matters. Focus on the people who truly support you, build your confidence from within, and remember that resilience grows stronger with each challenge you face.

If you're a parent: You can't shield your child from everything, but you can prepare them. Create open communication at home, advocate fiercely when needed, and help them build the inner strength to handle whatever comes their way. Your unconditional support is their foundation.
